0:28.0	show. So he is a retired force recon Marine and Afghanistan combat veteran. Also a former pro
0:33.6	MMA champion. This dude's a third degree black belt in jujitsu. At least the last time that I
0:37.7	talked to him, he was third degree. He may have got another stripper too. But he's also best
0:40.8	selling author, a speaker, the founder of the mighty oaks foundation and a founder of Sabar allies.
